CTR decent?

In that case, a new account might be best. I'd say it's your CTR though.

I don't care what Google says, I still believe that CTR is nor 100% normalized to position.

Here is something to try.... enable conversion optimizer for the campaign if you have 200+ conversions. Leave ti running for an hour and disable it again.

I wouldn't bother contacting Google about it but you can try

Title - Yes
Description - Yes
Display URL - Yes (no subdomain or subdirectory used)

In title of lander, in content of lander? - Yes and Yes

CTR decent? - Not really - I just launched it on Friday and it was in a lower position due to bidding €0.05 cent and the fact our website ranks number #1 organically. It was really just put there for branding and to keep our competitiors lower and of course have a customised call to action.

I had 14 clicks on Friday and 2 conversions!! Then over the weekend it went to crap and they were disabled. CTR was about 1.4%, which considering I think was ok, given position and search volume and the fact that we are already number 1 and most traffic goes to that listing anyway.

I can't see myself starting a new account. I would have to get CC details from the boss again and set up everything again.

We do have a dedicated account manager at Google because we spent a decent amount of money with them or at least have in the past. So it might be worth getting them to give it a look over. I think the issue here is CTR and account history.
